Mr. Pargiter

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, what is the calorific content of the food ration valued at 4d. a day allotted to agricultural labourers in Nyasaland; and what is the number of industrial firms who provide a free midday meal without a deduction from pay.

Mr. Profumo,

pursuant to his reply [OFFICIAL REPORT, 16th July 1957; Vol. 573, c. 943], supplied the following information:

The Governor reports that it has not yet been possible to complete the detailed investigation necessary to enable the required information to be furnished. I will therefore publish the information in the OFFICIAL REPORT after the Recess and meanwhile write to the hon. Member as soon as the information is available.
